Re: Capital Budget
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance appropriating $250,000 for the Hawaiian
Beaches Athletic Field project. Because of the increasing population in the
lower Puna District, the growing need of the development of a multi-purpose
athletic field was found to be evident.
Although the Department of Public Works was initially going to construct the
athletic field, other commitments forced its withdrawal from the project.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of
Parks & Recreation.

REQUEST: Amend Ordinance No. 00-64, Relating to Public Improvements
and Financing Thereof for Fiscal Year 2000-2001, by adding the following
project:
Hawaiian Beaches Athletic Field $250,000
BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION: Development of a multi-purpose
athletic field is essential to meet the needs of the increasing population in the
lower Puna district.
The athletic field was initially proposed to be constructed with the
assistance of the Department of Public Works (DPW). Construction plans
were prepared and grubbing of the site undertaken by DPW.
Soil (2000 cubic yards) was purchased at a cost of $22,300.00 in
anticipation of the site being graded and grassed.
Before the site could be graded, other commitments by the
Department of Public Works forced its withdrawal from the project and the
CIP appropriation subsequently lapsed.
Construction of the athletic field must now proceed via the
procurement of construction bids. To accomplish this, an appropriation of
$250,000.00 is required for grading and grassing of the proposed field.
